Simulated Laser Range Finder Readings Using Python & OpenCV Posted on April 11, 2012 by admin Reply This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Python Robotics SimulatorThis is my first simulation using Python + OpenCV. It rotates a robot in a SLAM Map to get 9 simulated range (laser range finder) readings that it can then use to localize itself on that map. Watch the video here:
